Bilastin Tablet 20 mg contains Bilastine, a second-generation, non-sedating antihistamine formulated for the treatment of allergic conditions. It is highly effective in managing symptoms of seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis as well as chronic urticaria, offering relief from sneezing, itching, nasal congestion, and hives without causing drowsiness.
Bilastine works by selectively blocking peripheral H1 histamine receptors, preventing histamine from triggering allergic responses. Its once-daily dosing and non-sedating profile make it ideal for adults and adolescents seeking effective allergy relief without impairing alertness or daily activities.
